Saw a 420rnd ammo can of green tip for sale at the Hanover Walmart today. I've had pretty good luck with with m855. It always goes bang and groups reasonably well.

Yes it is legal. Stock up on it now, while it is available.

It's still legal, for now.
It depends on how long until some libtard freaks out over the potential lethality of green paint again.

the caveat is most if not all competitions don't allow them, and i think at least some ranges don't allow them.
A Green Tip put the nastiest bite on a block of titanium of all the common calibers in this video.

I never thought is was accurate. I have better groups with 69gr match king in my 1 in 9 twist barrels.
it isn't. the cores aren't anywhere close to concentric or consistent, so while they all may weigh 62 grains +/- .02 gr or whatever the variation is, they're not balanced in flight and will tend to destabilize fairly quickly. not to the point they're tumbling or keyholing, but to the point that accuracy degrades noticeably.
makes for decent plinking ammo, but if you're set up to handload, you can load far more accurate plinking rounds for a lot less money.

55grain Federal FMJ shoots far better. ZQI SS109 shoots better also.

Freestate certainly doesn't.

not had the best accuracy from it.
Strangely, the foreign made ss109 and m855 seems to be a bit more consistent. I have some prvi partizan green tips that are great
